Unfortunately, the video of these cute guys that has gone viral might not have the happiest ending. The Australian Broadcasting Company reported that the facility is more of a “tiger farm” than a zoo. A representative from an animal protection agency stated that “these facilities breed tigers for tourist entertainment while they’re alive, and their parts are reportedly used for luxury and medicinal products.”
